Abstract
Diabetic neuropathies are the most common type of neuropathies seen in clinical practice. These neuropathies can range clinically from asymptomatic to manifesting symptoms caused by motor, sensory, and autonomic nerve dysfunction. These neu-ropathies can affect the peripheral nervous system, pain receptors, cardiovascular, urogenital, and gastrointestinal systems. This monograph presents an overview of the different types of diabetic neuropathies, their presentations, diagnostic tools, and strategies for management.
Objectives:1) to understand and to be able to categorize autonomicneuropathies by disease onset, etiology, or special distribution
2) to be able to evaluatepatients presenting with possible autonomic neuropathies
